See your numbers

Before you see a listing, see the math. Your estimate includes principal, interest, property taxes, homeowner’s insurance, and any HOA dues. If the seller can cover part of your costs under VA rules, you will see that too. Pick a monthly number you can live with, then search inside that line.

What Veterans says

The VA program allows the seller to contribute toward closing costs and Antonio at Oxford made sure our Vermillion offer included that request. Accepted, closed, and moved in with very little money out of pocket on top of the zero down. Antonio knows how to structure a deal.

We were worried about closing costs even though the VA benefit covered the down payment. Temitayo at Oxford helped us negotiate with the seller to cover most of those too. Moved into our Pierre home with minimal cash out of pocket, no PMI, and a payment we're comfortable with.

Zero down was huge but Tatyhana at Oxford also helped us negotiate seller concessions on our Huron purchase. Between the VA benefit and the seller credits, we moved in with almost nothing out of pocket. No PMI on top of that. Tatyhana structured the whole deal brilliantly.

Quick take: Shawn at Oxford. Pre approved for VA in 24 hours. Found a house in Yankton that weekend. Offer accepted Monday. Closed in 35 days. Zero down, no PMI. Done and done.

Matthew at Oxford. VA purchase in Mitchell. Nothing down, no mortgage insurance, closed on time. Smooth from start to finish. Already recommended Matthew to everyone I know who's eligible.

VA benefit. Zero down. No PMI. Great rate. Marquis at Oxford. Closed in Watertown in 38 days. The keys are in my hand and the smile won't come off my face.

Self employed veteran. Most lenders didn't want to deal with my tax returns. David at Oxford took the time to work through them and got me approved for the VA purchase. Bought my Brookings home with zero down and no PMI. David didn't give up on my file and I'm grateful for that.

My credit history isn't perfect and I was upfront about that. Christyanne at Oxford didn't flinch. The VA program has more flexible guidelines and Christyanne knew exactly how to work with my situation. Bought in Aberdeen with nothing down, no mortgage insurance, and a payment that fits my budget.

Two lenders told me my credit wasn't good enough. Brandon at Oxford said my score actually qualified for the VA program with more flexible guidelines than conventional. Zero down, no PMI, and Brandon helped me understand exactly what I needed to do. Closed in Rapid City and I'm building equity now.

Never thought I'd write a review for a mortgage company but Antonio at Oxford earned it. The VA purchase on our Sioux Falls home was seamless. Nothing down, no mortgage insurance, and a rate I'm genuinely proud of. If you're a veteran on the fence about buying, just call. You'll be glad you did.
